Without Sound



            Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form itself on the edge of consciousness.

             She blew some cigarette smoke and looked down at the dice. I thought that, once again, i was perhaps a substitute for the dice.

To Get In



          The moon will never lie to anyone. Be like the moon. No one hates the moon or wants to kill it. The moon does not take anti-depressants or get sent to prison. The moon never shot a guy in the face and ran away. The moon has been around a long time and has never tried to rip anyone off. The moon does not care who you want to touch or what color you are. The moon treats everyone the same. The moon never tries to get in on the guest list or use your name to impress others. Be like the moon.
